EXIF / JPEG metadata
by Alistair Grant Nov. 30, 2025

Nov. 30, 2025

Hi Everyone, As far as I can tell, JPEGReadWriter in Pharo 7 doesn't read (or write) the image metadata, e.g. title, keywords, exposure time, etc. Is anyone aware of a package that does? Thanks! Alistair

The System Browser has recently started showing 2 comments tabs - one is text and one is formatted pretty. That seems odd and is not wanted - has anyone else seen this? Pharo 10 stable image - windows 64 - all reloaded recently...

Re: [Pharo-dev] VM Release 10.0.8

In the launcher? There is a âVMsâ button on the top right that will open a dialog. Then you need to click on the VM to update and click on update.
